A Successful Experiment With Actinic Keratosis

Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.

My friend, who plays a lot of golf went to the doctor for some age spots on his forearms. The doctor diagnosed actinic keratosis and gave him a cream to apply daily for a couple weeks. I visited him and saw that his forearms were all blistered; they looked like someone dumped acid on them.

I asked him about it and he told me the story. He had just finished his treatment and was waiting for his arms to heal, so that he could start treating the backs of his calves for the same thing. I said "NO - try Lemongrass". He was a HARD SELL. He finally said that he would use Lemongrass on one calf and his cream on the other one. I googled the ingredients in the cream and found it to be a topical chemotherapy.

I told him to put a couple drops of Lemongrass on his hand and rub it all over his calf, 2-3 times per day. After a week I started asking how he was doing and he was always very vague.

Long story short, in 10 days the spots on his calf where Lemongrass was applied, were completely gone, the skin was totally healthy! I asked about the other calf; it was then that he confessed that he didn't put the cream on, apparently he had enough with the creme and his arms.

Now it is 9 months later and he is still golfing as usual, but sharing the Lemongrass with his golfing buddy!
